The EPS has a high reputation in schools and services, with the majority buying in traded services. We work collaboratively as a team to continually develop our ways of working.

Camden has a vibrant education scene with excellent schools, health and care services, including a strong early help offer to families.

There are opportunities for EPs to deliver exciting projects including developing interventions in schools. We deliver support in a diverse range of community settings to raise attainment for children and young people with SEND, and support the development of children's resilience and motivation.

We are looking to appoint to two fixed term posts to provide maternity cover and an increase in traded services. We are seeking candidates with an excellent understanding of psychological frameworks and their application. You will contribute consultation, assessment and interventions to meet the needs of vulnerable children, including those with SEN and Disabilities and children who are Looked After.

You will have an excellent understanding of SEND and Equalities legislation and a sound knowledge of children's psychological development, together with skills and experience in delivery of psychological interventions e.g. CBT and VIG.
